USA Forum 2010
This year's USA Forum will once more be held at The Breakers, in Palm Beach, Florida. Following the success of last year's North American Forum, we have planned a four-day event with 100 buyers from the USA.
Over the course of the four days you'll have 50 one-to-one pre-scheduled meetings with buyers as well as the chance to network in a variety of informal and relaxed situations including team-building activities and dinners.
All meetings are chosen by buyers, ensuring that they are relevant and the buyers have a firm interest in placing business at your destination.
